Privatize the Methods, Publicize the Profits

Mr. Thomas is a college student at El Camino College, where he studies electrical engineering. He spent approximately six years in the United States Navy as a Nuclear Machinist Mate. His concerns for housing affordability and efficient taxation led him to writing “Privatize the Methods, Publicize the Profits,” as well as joining California Common Ground to advocate community and state-wide political changes. He won first place in the 2024 HGSSS Writing Contests (College/University & Graduate Students).
